Today: It is truly remarkable to see the ways the Foundation is helping to improve the health of Michigan children.

2016

Detroit Medical Center, including the Children’s Hospital of Michigan, was acquired by investor-owned Vanguard Health Systems, now part of Tenet Health.

Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation inherited $90 million in philanthropic funds.

2011 2003

Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation (CHMF) was established as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

1991

The Carls Ambulatory Center opened for outpatient services.

1971

The Hospital expanded with a new hospital tower.

The Children’s Hospital of Michigan affiliated with the Wayne State University School of Medicine for teaching purposes.

1957

The Child Research League was established to conduct pediatric medical research.

1954

Thanks to a $1 million donation from former Detroit Mayor James Couzens, the hospital built a new facility and renamed it the Children’s Hospital of Michigan. It is the country’s third oldest children’s hospital and the first and largest in the state.

1922

The Association established a Training School for Nurses, Social Service Department, Physical Therapy Department, Dental Clinic and one of the first X-ray departments in the nation.

Hiram Walker donated $125,000 for a new building, replacing 34 beds in rented houses and barns.

Dr. Charles Devendorf and a group of prominent Detroit women with philanthropic support founded the Children’s Free Hospital Association.

The story of a brother’s tribute.

In the early 1960’s, Joanne Carr brought two of her four sons to Children’s Hospital of Michigan.

While young James played with toys in the hematology waiting room, his brother David fought and ultimately lost his battle with leukemia.

The family channeled their grief into funding hematology research.

In the wake of incredible loss, Joanne transformed her grief into a mission. She was determined to help – first by volunteering in the clinic and then, with the support of her husband, by establishing the Children’s Research League of Michigan to help fund projects through the Children’s Research Center of Michigan (CRCM) as well as other pediatric hematology research. She recruited donors and hosted numerous fundraisers. In 1985, she was involved in the first Festival of Trees.

Inspired by his brother’s memory and his mother’s example, James led a fraternity fundraiser for CRCM while attending Albion College. Over twenty years later, he did something even more remarkable.

David Carr

In 2003, James honored his brother yet again as a founding member of the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation.

Together, we advance the health of Michigan’s children through philanthropic support for pediatric medical research, community benefit and education programs.

Following the 2011 purchase of the hospital by an investor-owned company, the Foundation now operates as a separate charitable organization for the good of all Michigan kids.

We are pleased to continue partnering with the Carr family to honor David’s memory.

Finding new ways to defeat a silent killer. cardiologist Daisuke Kobayashi,

She was just 17 when doctors discovered a time bomb in her chest. Athlete and cheerleader Ariana had no idea she carried a massive aortic aneurysm.

Even more frightening, the arterial bulge sat on an unusually shaped aorta.

M.D., and her cardiac team at Children’s Hospital of Michigan turned to an unusual solution: they would practice the procedure on a 3-D printed model of her aorta.

It worked. Instead of undergoing open heart surgery, Ariana received a specially lined stent in the catheterization lab, stayed overnight, and returned to school a week later.

Our funding supports a wide range of cardiac studies.

Tiny heart patients need careful monitoring. Infants born with certain complex heart defects are extremely fragile in their first year and may need frequent adjustments to their care. CHMF funds research by Richard Humes, M.D. to test an innovative home monitoring system using computer and smart technology to help families detect and communicate any worsening health conditions.

Improving outcomes for young catheterization patients.

Cardiac catheterization is a lifesaving procedure for kids with congenital heart disease. To evaluate and improve pediatric catheterizations, Thomas Forbes, M.D., co-founded the Congenital Cardiovascular Intervention Study Consortium (CCISC). Funded in part by CHMF, this initiative shares data from 28 hospitals around the world to reduce catheterization complications.

Pushing the frontier of pediatric heart surgery.

One in 120 American kids are born with congenital heart defects.

Many require heart surgery or catheterization to thrive. CHMF supports research exploring new procedures and treatments at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, including advanced education for cardiac staff.

Fishing for a cure.

He was just a teenager when cancer struck. Desperate for a cure, his parents brought him to Children’s Hospital of Michigan.

He not only survived; he devoted his life to defeating his old nemesis.

Today, Jeffrey Taub, M.D., investigates the genetics of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to improve diagnosis, identify at-risk kids and develop new treatments. CHMF helps fund his vital research studies, making up for the lack of funds for pediatric research from government and corporate sources.

Collaborating with developmental geneticist Ryan Thummel, Ph.D., and his Zebrafish Leukemia Research Program, Dr. Taub takes advantage of the zebrafish’s human-like blood structure to test how pre-leukemia genes are affected by exposure to chemicals in the environment.

Thanks to Dr. Taub’s research, patients like Ashley are now cancer free.

Someday, that research may lead to new cures for kids just like Dr. Taub.

We meet the need when federal funds fall short.

Finding the trigger for a deadly cancer. CHMF funded early research by Madhvi Rajpurkar, M.D. and Michael Callaghan, M.D. into a key genetic mutation that can trigger acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). They recently published the results of their ten year investigation in one of the world’s leading science journals. Their goal is to improve diagnosis, identify kids at risk and develop new, lifesaving treatments.

Using a child’s own antibodies to destroy cancer cells. A new FDA-approved treatment for neuroblastoma is now being tested on young patients at Children’s Hospital of Michigan and Sloan Kettering. It’s based on the CHMF-funded research

by Wayne State University (WSU) professor and CHM oncologist Maxim Yankelevich, M.D. and associates of the Karmanos Cancer Institute.

Neuroblastoma often recurs following chemotherapy; this

new treatment removes and multiplies a patient’s own T-cell antibodies to “clean up” remaining cancer cells and prevent relapse after chemo.

PEDIATRIC RESEARCH: MENTAL HEALTH

Helping young brain networks communicate.

Vaibhav Diwadkar, Ph.D.

WSU Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences

Tamika’s brain chemistry won’t let her sleep because she can’t stop checking the lock on her door. Even worse, her Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) could be linked to autism, depression, bipolar disease or other mental disorders.

Today, there’s hope thanks to the groundbreaking research of David Rosenberg, M.D., chief of psychiatry and psychology at Children’s Hospital of Michigan.

He uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study how glutamate activates the communication networks in the brain. When these networks don’t fire properly, the “short circuit” leads to abnormal behavior.

and genetics, which showed glutamate’s role in mental illness.

Dr. Rosenberg’s CHMF grant led to funding from the National Institute for Mental Health, where he leads a large consortium studying glutamate-modulating drugs. Someday, we may be able to delay or prevent the onset of illness in kids like Tamika.

In fact, Dr. Rosenberg and WSU associate professor Vaibhav Diwadkar, Ph.D., published the very first paper on brain imaging David Rosenberg, M.D.

We’re funding the fight against mental illness.

Hope from tragedy, one family’s story. When Grosse Ile industrialist Heinz Prechter committed suicide, his family established a CHMF fund in his name for bipolar research.

It focused on identifying the brain’s genetic biomarkers, research that could improve bipolar disorder diagnosis and treatment. Today, that work continues under the direction of Dr. David Rosenberg and Dr. Vaibhav Diwadkar.

Researching the roots of bipolar disorder. This illness doesn’t manifest itself until later in life, but Dr. Diwadkar’s research is using fMRI to search for the brain abnormalities that could identify kids at higher risk. Thanks to this funding and the Prechter’s gift, this pioneering work continues on the leading edge of clinical psychiatric research.

Gaining national attention for local research. This work is so extraordinary, it was featured on ABC’s 20/20. David Muir interviewed Dr. Rosenberg about glutamate’s role in OCD and his discovery of OCD subtypes that could be targeted with medication for kids whose disease has resisted treatment.

Pediatric Research

Gifts to CHMF support crucial research into the diagnosis and treatment of numerous pediatric conditions such as leukemia and other cancers, asthma, heart conditions, mental health, sickle cell disease, emergency conditions and more. Initial research funded by donations to CHMF plays a key role in helping researchers qualify for funding from sources such as the National Institutes of Health.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT: IMPROVING ACCESS

Bringing new hope to kids in need.

Kids can’t always tell you where it hurts. When they’re afraid… when money’s tight…when parents don’t know where to turn…our support allows dozens of programs to heal them and help them thrive.

He was five years old, but no one could understand him.

At the WSU Speech-Language Center, kids with communication challenges are receiving intensive therapy thanks to a CHMF grant. It also gives WSU students the opportunity to train while providing the intervention these children need. Thanks to this funding, all the kids who’ve regularly attended therapy have made significant gains.

Being abused is traumatic enough without the stress of an ER exam. The Kids-TALK Children’s Advocacy Center in Detroit provides a safe, kid-friendly space for abused and neglected kids to be interviewed and examined.

CHMF funds the clinicians who conduct these specialized medical exams. Since its opening, more than 600 young victims have been saved a frightening trip to the ER. These onsite exams also allowed the Center to apply for national accreditation.

“Did anything scary happen today?” When kids visit CHM’s General Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine Clinic, they’re screened for mental as well as physical problems. If social workers suspect a behavioral or substance abuse issue, those kids are referred to the clinic’s CHMF-funded Integrated Care Program.

The program seamlessly integrates physical and mental health treatment, giving kids easy access to hard-to-find services. To date, our grant has allowed 150 young patients to get the help they need.

Hamtramck Health Center cares for new arrivals

They’re building new lives.

We help them succeed. Since 2000, Hamtramck has opened its doors to kids from over 40 countries. Because these families are new arrivals to this country, they often have language and transportation barriers and don’t have access to critical pediatric services.

To fill that need, CHMF funds the Hamtramck School-Based Health Center. It’s located in Hamtramck High School and offers free healthcare to all public school students: exams, immunizations, tuberculosis screening, special needs assessments…even transportation to appointments, eyeglasses, bike helmets and more.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT: HEALING ARTS

Creativity helps young patie Sick kids struggle to understand why their lives have changed.

They feel powerless, confused, frightened, frustrated…often with no way to express their complex feelings.

When words fail, art helps.

CHMF funds numerous arts programs that help kids relieve their stress, express themselves and celebrate the joy of just being kids.

The Healing Arts and Art Therapy Programs transform beds into art studios. For example, in a unique CHMFfunded partnership, studio artists from the Detroit Institute of Arts visit the Children’s Hospital of Michigan (CHM) twice a week.

Interactive art wall at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Troy, helps kids express their feelings.

Armed with crayons, paper, cloth, markers and more, they visit waiting rooms, activity rooms and bedsides helping kids create postcards, sock puppets, paper hats, bookmarks, journals, picture frames–over 40 art projects designed expressly for young attention spans.

Last year, the program helped 1,153 patients ease their stress by utilizing distraction techniques such as art. Doctors noticed the difference, too: kids stayed calmer and felt less pain during medical procedures.

Music soothes the heart, head, body and soul. Far more powerfully than language, music burrows into the most primitive areas of the brain to arouse emotion. The funding for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Neighborhood Residency Initiative taps that wellspring of feeling to improve kids’ mood, decrease their stress and encourage socializing.

A teenager’s photo book saved her life. A’ja was just 12 when kidney disease forced her into dialysis. Through CHM’s Art Therapy Program, she chronicled her emotional journey through words and photos.

Last year our grant supported 37 orchestral performances in CHM’s lobbies and inpatient areas, sharing the healing power of music with over 5,000 kids, family members, visitors and staff.

When one of A’ja’s teachers saw her photo book, she was

ents cope.

When youthful emotions hit the wall. Kids walk into a hospital feeling anxious and afraid. Thanks to two new interactive art walls at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan (CHM) Troy, they can express those emotions through creativity and play. The large, colorful screens use cameras, projectors and software to react to kids’ movements, letting them manipulate landscapes and objects at will.

Made possible by generous donors and community groups, the interactive art walls are owned and maintained by CHMF.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT: PARTNERSHIPS

Keeping kids safe with the buddy system.

They’re in every town across the state: kids at risk from unsafe water, obesity, poverty, abuse and neglect. To reach them where and when they need us, CHMF partners with local community groups to bring vital resources to kids where they live, learn and play.

Getting the lead out of our schools. We partnered with the City of Detroit to fund lead testing in 200 Detroit Public Schools (DPS) and early childhood centers where older buildings could harbor leadleaching pipes.

FitKids 360 helps kids fight obesity.

Freddy was sleeping on the floor of a closet. Over 100,000 kids in Greater Detroit suffer the emotional scars of abuse, developmental delays and mental illness. Fortunately, Freddy found his way to The Children’s Center (TCC).

CHMF proudly supports TCC through a bed grant project.

Since 2014, we’ve funded the purchase of 149 cribs and beds for kids who were sleeping on the floor or in beds with other family members. To some, having a bed meant having a home, since regulations require each foster child to have a bed of their own.

All of them are now enjoying the benefits of a good night’s sleep: less stress, higher self-esteem, a clearer focus on their schooling and therapy goals…and more nights to dream.

From five sodas a day to a 5K. Obese kids face a host of problems: diabetes, clogged arteries, high blood pressure, joint problems, depression, anxiety, bullying and even shorter lifespans. Too often, parents don’t realize the dangers or how to help.

That’s why CHMF helps fund the Wayne Children’s Healthcare Access Program’s FitKids 360 initiative. In free weekly sessions, kids aged 5 to 17 and their families learn about nutrition, exercise and healthy behaviors from a dietician, exercise specialist and social worker.

Graduates can move on to a “couch to 5K” program of weekly fitness training culminating in the completion of a local 5K race.
